The Subtle Aromatherapy Benefits of Helichrysum italicum

Introduction

Helichrysum italicum, commonly known as the Immortal or Everlasting flower, is a small, aromatic shrub native to the Mediterranean region. Renowned for its vibrant yellow blooms and distinctive earthy scent, this plant has been cherished for centuries for its therapeutic properties. As a clinical aromatherapist, Helichrysum essential oil stands out for me due to its potent healing qualities and subtle benefits that promote overall well-being.

Chemical Composition and Extraction

The essential oil of Helichrysum italicum is extracted through steam distillation of its fresh or dried flowers. This oil is rich in active compounds such as neryl acetate, alpha-pinene, and gamma-curcumene contributing to its unique healing properties. The complex chemical profile of Helichrysum italicum offers a multi-faceted approach to health and wellness, making it a versatile addition to any aromatherapy practice.

Subtle Aromatherapy Benefits

Emotional Healing and Upliftment

    Helichrysum essential oil is renowned for uplifting the spirit and promoting emotional healing. Its warm, earthy aroma has a grounding effect that helps to alleviate anxiety, stress, and depression. By calming the nervous system, it creates a sense of peace and emotional balance, making it an excellent choice for those dealing with emotional trauma or seeking to enhance their overall mood.

    Enhanced Meditation and Mindfulness

      The soothing properties of Helichrysum italicum make it an ideal companion for meditation and mindfulness practices. Its scent fosters a deep sense of inner calm and clarity, helping to quiet the mind and enhance focus. Diffusing Helichrysum essential oil during meditation sessions can aid in achieving a deeper state of relaxation and spiritual connection.

      Promoting Restful Sleep

        Insomnia and disrupted sleep patterns are common issues in today’s fast-paced world. Helichrysum italicum’s calming aroma can help to promote restful sleep by reducing anxiety and creating a tranquil environment. A few drops of essential oil added to a diffuser or a bedtime massage blend can help individuals fall asleep faster and enjoy a more restorative sleep cycle.

        Supporting Spiritual Growth

          In addition to its emotional and mental benefits, Helichrysum italicum is also known for its ability to support spiritual growth. Its grounding properties help individuals connect with their inner selves and the outer world, creating a sense of purpose and spiritual awareness. This makes it a valuable tool for those on a journey of self-discovery and personal development.

          Healing and Rejuvenation

            Beyond its subtle aromatherapy benefits, Helichrysum italicum is celebrated for its powerful healing properties. It is often used to support the body’s natural healing processes, reduce inflammation, and promote skin regeneration. These physical benefits complement its emotional and spiritual effects, providing a holistic approach to wellness.

            How to Use Helichrysum italicum in Aromatherapy

            Always purchase from a reputable supplier as the incidences of diluting or tampering with this precious oil are high. I recommend Neal’s Yard Organics Immortelle essential oil or Oshadhi Helichrysum italicum.

            • Diffusion: Add a few drops of Helichrysum essential oil to an aromatherapy diffuser to fill the room with its calming scent. This is particularly effective for promoting relaxation and a peaceful atmosphere.
            • Topical Application: Dilute Helichrysum essential oil with a carrier oil, such as jojoba or almond oil, and apply it to the skin. This can be used for massages, or to enjoy its skin-healing properties.
            • Inhalation: Inhale the aroma directly from the bottle or add a few drops to a handkerchief or cotton ball. This method is useful for immediate stress relief and emotional support.
            • Bath: Add a few drops of Helichrysum essential oil to a warm bath to relax the mind and body. This can be particularly beneficial before bedtime to promote restful sleep.

            The Power of Holistic Healing

            Holistic healing is an integrative approach that considers the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Unlike conventional medicine, which often focuses solely on treating symptoms, holistic healing addresses the root causes of imbalance. By nurturing all aspects of your being, holistic therapies promote long-lasting health and vitality.

            At Lisa J Healing, we offer a range of therapies designed to support your unique needs. Here are some of our signature treatments:

              Reflexology

              Reflexology is a therapeutic foot massage that stimulates specific points on your feet, corresponding to different organs and systems in your body. This treatment improves circulation, reduces tension, and supports the body’s natural healing processes. Experience the profound benefits of reflexology and step into a state of renewed vitality.

              Hot Stone Massage and Lava Shells Massage

              Our hot stone massage combines the soothing warmth of heated stones with expert massage techniques to release tension and promote relaxation.  Lava Shells bring together Earth and Water elements, using ground basalt and salt water to create the warmth that radiates gently from the shells.  This therapy helps to ease muscle stiffness, improve circulation, and induce a deep sense of tranquillity.  Let the heat melt away your stress and leave you feeling rejuvenated.

              This is the sign you’ve been looking for!

              COntact Me

              Cold Sores need this!

              aromatherapy, essential oils

              Cold sores…  ugh… aren’t they the bane of your life?  I mean we forget most of the time that we even suffer their presence BUT when they show…  ouch!

              cold sore treatment using essential oils

              Cold sores are the visible blisters of the herpes simplex virus and are triggered when we are run down.  When our immunity is low they get the chance to pop along the nerve and make an unwanted appearance  
              Around the lips, chin and nose are common places but they can affect other areas too.0c

              Treatment is usually with cream or patches but these can also be unsightly with smears of white around the lips and or flappy plastic patches looking like loose skin.

              Use this simple aromatherapy blend for treatment which reduces swelling, inflammation, itching and the length of time the cold sore is around.
              One drop to one drop of each essential oil or a 1 to 1 ratio and use topically…  ONLY on the affected area.

              I apply every couple of hours in the first day using a cotton bud, fresh one each time and dispose of carefully without touching the used ends. 

              Tea tree and Rosalina are both melaleuca (tea tree family) that work synergistically meaning their combined properties are more effective than when used individually. 
              They both have antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial, antimicrobial properties and are antiseptic.  They will reduce inflammation and help with pain relief as well as supporting the immune system.

              Interestingly this combination can also be used to treat nail fungus when applied similarly to nail polish on the affected toenail once or twice a day.  The new nail will grow without the fungus.  The fungal portion of the nail will grow out but will not visibly improve.

              Let me know if this is helpful to you or if you try it

              Lots of love ❤️

              Nails Aftercare

              Help me help you.

              Nails need TLC because no nail product is damage proof.

              Picking labels, opening cans of drink and using your nails as tools causes damage.

              You must do your part because it’s a team effort to protect your nails.


              nails chipped nail aftercare

              Follow these aftercare rules to help protect your nails from any damage between appointments.

              ✓ Be careful in the first 24 hours after application and avoid intense
              heat during this period (e.g. saunas, hot baths, or sunbeds).

              ✓ Use cuticle oil daily to keep your nails nourished, to stimulate growth and
              prevent lifting.

              ✓ Always wear protective gloves when washing up, cleaning, DIY-ing or gardening.

              ✓ Always wash your hands thoroughly after being in contact with chlorine, bleach, insect repellent or sunscreen.  Chemicals can lead to the nail products breaking down.

              ✓ Always return to salon for maintenance and removal and follow any advice given to you by your nail technician, Me.  

              ✗ Avoid long periods of time in water (e.g. long baths, swimming, washing up).

              ✗ Do not use your nails as tools (e.g. screwdriver or label picking, ring pull opening) as this could lead to cracking, chipping and nail splits.  The nail products I use are formulated to break or split BEFORE your natural nail does and therefore aren’t indestructible.  

              ✗ Never pick or peel the nail product off as this will damage your natural nail resulting in weak, damaged nails that will split and crack more readily.

              ✗ Avoid filing your nails, pushing your cuticles back, or cleaning the underside of your nails with anything including your own nails.  Never use metal tools, only a nail brush to clean the underside of your nails.  Doing any of this will break the seal of the gel and can lead to chipping.

              Damage at the free edge, that’s the edge at the end of the finger that is filed, is usually caused by picking, knocking, tapping or fiddling.  Flexing your nails, tapping on surfaces, fiddling in general should be avoided.  No nail technician can provide a service that survives any of the above.

              Cuticle oil, nail files and nail polish are all available to purchase from the salon.  Please ask me for these at your next appointment.

              Namaste,

              Lisa J
